Writing music is fun.

So my friends and I who used to play together in a band — we play every Monday night now.  We used to play out, back in the day.  We played at the Ottobar before it was cool and at Goucher’s club regularly (and for a lot of money, which was awesome) and some other places.  Now we just jam, and we’re going to record an album just for fun and just for our friends.  Hopefully, we’ll be utilizing Ubuntu Studio, or at least some tools available on Ubuntu.

It’s nice to be on bass again, and not playing mandolin by myself in Boston and Carbondale.  We might put some MANDO on the album, but I generally do all my writing on bass.  Yes, you can write a song on the bass.  Hell, our drummer bucked that tired joke and wrote some damned good songs.  So there.

Perhaps we will make it available for download, here or if we set up a site just for our awesome jamming.  To get you excited, we’re working on a uber-cliche version of the Vaterunser in a death-metal style with your’s-truly screaming the vocals.  DEIN REICH KOMME!!

Metal! Show me the horns!

I gave all the people outside of the Starbucks on Roland Avenue some loud metal and horns Sunday, with G&R playing from my brother:) It would be funnier if I didn’t actually go there when I go to the Post Office, lol.
